  2. Phosphorus pentafluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_pentafluoride

    Phosphorus pentafluoride is a Lewis acid.This property is relevant to its ready hydrolysis. A well studied adduct is PF 5 with pyridine.With primary and secondary amines, the adducts convert readily to dimeric amido-bridged derivatives with the formula [PF 4 (NR 2)] 2.

  3. Solvent effects - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent_effects

    This arises from the fact that polar solvents stabilize the formation of the carbocation intermediate to a greater extent than the non-polar-solvent conditions. This is apparent in the ΔE a, ΔΔG ‡ activation. On the right is an S N 2 reaction coordinate diagram. Note the decreased ΔG ‡ activation for the non-polar-solvent reaction ...

  4. Three-center four-electron bond - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Three-center_four-electron_bond

    This bonding scheme is succinctly summarized by the following two resonance structures: I—I···I − ↔ I − ···I—I (where "—" represents a single bond and "···" represents a "dummy bond" with formal bond order 0 whose purpose is only to indicate connectivity), which when averaged reproduces the I—I bond order of 0.5 obtained ...

  5. Walsh diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walsh_diagram

    Walsh Diagram of an HAH molecule. Walsh diagrams, often called angular coordinate diagrams or correlation diagrams, are representations of calculated orbital binding energies of a molecule versus a distortion coordinate (bond angles), used for making quick predictions about the geometries of small molecules.

  6. Phosphorus halide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phosphorus_halide

    [citation needed] The relatively stable P 2 I 4 is known to have a trans, bent configuration similar to hydrazine and finds some uses in organic syntheses, the others are of purely academic interest at the present time. Diphosphorus tetrabromide is particularly poorly described. They are subhalides of phosphorus.

  7. Non-covalent interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-covalent_interaction

    The hydrophobic effect is the desire for non-polar molecules to aggregate in aqueous solutions in order to separate from water. [22] This phenomenon leads to minimum exposed surface area of non-polar molecules to the polar water molecules (typically spherical droplets), and is commonly used in biochemistry to study protein folding and other ...

  8. VSEPR theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VSEPR_theory

    A bond of higher bond order also exerts greater repulsion since the pi bond electrons contribute. [10] For example in isobutylene, (H 3 C) 2 C=CH 2, the H 3 C−C=C angle (124°) is larger than the H 3 C−C−CH 3 angle (111.5°). However, in the carbonate ion, CO 2− 3, all three C−O bonds are equivalent with angles of 120° due to resonance.

  9. Nitrogen pentafluoride - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrogen_pentafluoride

    Nitrogen pentafluoride is a theoretical compound of nitrogen and fluorine with the chemical formula N F 5.It is hypothesized to exist based on the existence of the pentafluorides of the atoms below nitrogen in the periodic table, such as phosphorus pentafluoride.
